The Friendly Sons of St. Patrick 

JUST a century and a half ago. in that "course of human 
events" which Thomas Jefferson pondered, when, some 
five years later, he sat in his lodging in Philadelphia and 
composed the Declaration of Independence, an organization was 
born that was destined to contribute much to the making of the 
great republic of which Jeft"erson's fiery words were, after all, but 
the inspired prospectus. Looking back over the 150 years' history 
of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick of Philadelphia, we find 
something of noteworthy accomplishment in each of those fif^teen 
decades, but the first twenty years hold the greatest occasions for 
pride, and to them belong, perhaps, the largest deg'ree of human 
interest and the fullest measure of the Society's glory. 

Much of this splendid record of achievement is told in that 
labor of love and of painstaking, intelligent research undertaken 
and completed by the late John H. Campbell and published in 
1892 — the "History of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick and of 
the Hibernian Society for the Relief of Emigrants from Ireland." 
There the march of events leading up to the birth of the organiza- 
tion, on the edge of stormy and momentous days, is sufficiently 
set forth to indicate why Philadelphia, destined to hold the cradle 
of American liberty, happened, also, to become the birthplace of 
the first Irish society in the new land. We read that "soon after 
1720, a steady influx of settlers from Ireland — mainly from 
the northern counties — began," and, gradually assuming large 
proportions, "spread itself throughout what now compose the 
southern tier of counties." Gordon's "History of Pennsylvania" 
is quoted to show that from December, 1728, to December, 1729. 
the Irish immigrating to Penn's province numbered 5,655, just 
ten times the total of English, Welsh, Scotch and German 
Palatines recorded as arriving in the same period. "Scarcity of 
corn, generally prevalent from the discouragement of industry," 
says Gordon, "amounted in 1728 and the following year almost 
to a famine, especially in Ulster. Emigrations to America, which 
have since increased, drew above three thousand people annually 



4 THE FRIENDLY SOSS OF ST. PATRICK 

from Ulster alone." Proiul, ancnher Pennsylvania historian, 
reports that "before the middle of the century nearly 12.000 
arrived annually." .\n iniinirtant reason for this favoring of 
Pennsylvania is given in a citation from Douglas, who wrote at 
Boston in 1750: "At first they chose Xew England, but being 
brought up to husbandry, etc.. Xew England did not generally 
answer so well as the colonies southward ; at present they 
generally resort to Pennsylvania." 

From all this, even without the testimony of Burke, who. 
writing in Dublin in 1762. said that "in some years more people 
have transported themselves into Pennsylvania than in all the 
other settlements together." we may gather that it wtuild have 
been surprising if any other province had antedated Pennsylvania 
with any considerable record of Irish activities. By the middle 
of the 1 8th century there must have been a goodly sprinkling of 
Irish not only in the outlying farming districts of Pennsyhania. 
but also in the "green country town" oi Piiilailelphia. 

Dr. Alexander Hamilton, of Annapolis, who made the grand 
tour of the colonies in the summer of 1744. and who wrote an 
itinerarium full of quaint and keen observations — a rare manu- 
script lost for 150 years and only recently published — mentions, 
and seems to have encountered, the Irish most frequently in 
Pennsylvania. 

Mention has been made of one inii)oriant reason for the 
Irish immigrant's preference for Pennsylvania over the other 
colonies. There must have been antnher and a deeper one — the 
assurance that under the liberal laws of Pennsylvania each would 
be permitted t(» worship God in his own way. without meddlestune 
interference. I'or religious statistics in 1744 we are indebted 
again to Dr. Hamilton. "The Quakers." says he. "have two 
large meetings; the Church of England one great church in 
Second Street, and another built for W'hitefield. in which one 
Tennent.* a fanatick. now preaches; the Romans one chajiel ; the 
Anabaptists one or two meetings, and the Presbyterians two." 
There can be little doubt that then, as now. the "Romans" were 



• Gilbert Tennent. to whom Dr. Hamilton refers, was a noted Presbyterian minister 
and a founder of Princeton University. 



THE FRIENQLY SONS OF ST. PATRICK 5 

largely Irish ; and the Presbyterians, Irish and Scotch. But 
there is evidence that in social intercourse, regardless of religion, 
the races clung to their own. When the Friendly Sons of St. 
Patrick came into being in 1771 there was not the slightest sign 
of religious discord among the members, as is sufficiently borne 
out by the fact that although the majority of them were Presby- 
terians and Episcopalians, and only three Catholics, they chose 
one of the latter, Stephen Moylan — not then entitled to the prefix 
"General" — to be their first President. 

We must pause here for a word of explanation and a courte- 
ous nod in the direction of the Hibernia Fire Company, which. 
organized in 1751, was, strictly speaking, the earliest known Irish 
association in Philadelphia. Since, however, it was more a civic 
than a national or patriotic institution ; since, further, only seven 
of the founders of the Friendly Sons were members of the tire 
company; and since, finally, the Hibernia suffered a period of 
inactivity during several years prior to 1781, when it was 
reorganized with the names of many Friendly Sons upon its rolls, 
it cannot be considered as the parent but rather as the foster- 
child of the latter society. John H. Campbell tells us that his 
researches disclosed evidence that the real beginnings of the 
Friendly Sons of St. Patrick were in "the association of the 
merchants of Irish parentage, who were leading men in Philadel- 
phia circles as early as 1765, especially of those who had business 
relations with the firm of Conyngham & Nesbitt, led to the estab- 
lishment of the Irish Club about that date. William West, John 
Xixon, John Maxwell Nesbitt, James Mease, Benjamin Fuller, 
Stephen Moylan and others were members of the club, which met 
informally at 'Burn's Tavern' once a week to play backgammon 
or whist, and finish the evening with a supper and punch. It was 
at one of these evening parties, at the beginning of 1771, that it 
was proposed to give perpetuity to the club by forming a society 
from its members to be called the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick." 

Early in the year 1771, as has been said, the perpetuation of 
the convivial "Club" through the larger activities designed for the 
Friendly Sons was first broached ; but, knowing the strength of 



6 THE FRIENDLY SONS OF ST. PATRICK 

sentiment in the bosoms of those Celtic founders, we may be 
assured that the definite date fixed upon for the actual organizing 
was March 17. We have no formal record of this, for the 
minutes begin with the quarterly meeting of September 17. but 
those minutes show that the officers had already been chosen; 
and the gathering held upon March 17. 177^. is designated as 
the anniversary meeting. 

It is a curious fact that although the thirteen rules (mark 
the prophetic significance here of the mystic thirteen so closely 
identified with the Republic's beginnings!) set forth in detail the 
dates for the society's meetings — the qualifications for member- 
ship, the design f(jr the gold medal with which each member was 
to provide himself, the amount of the fines that should be levied 
for failure to appear with that medal at the annual and other 
meetings, the qualifications for honorary membership and the 
privileges of such members — no mention whatever is made of 
the charitable objects of the society; yet the wish and the deter- 
mination to furnish assistance and comfort to their fellows of 
Celtic blood, already in the new land or still to come into it. must 
have animated the i)os<^ms of the twenty-four founders. 

That they were men of substance in the communitv. and. 
therefore, eminently able to look after the interests of their 
kinsmen, must be apparent to any student of American historv 
who scans this original roster as set down in the first minutes of 
the Society : —

They were prominent merchants, most of them, before the 
call to arms which was to make many of them high officers in 
the army and navy, sage councillors and generous contributors 
in affairs of state and of finance, and whole-hearted patriots all. 
Among those thirty original members, regular and honorary, in 
1 77 1, there was but one professional fighting-man, Colonel 
Turbutt Francis, who had served in the French and Indian \\'ars. 
But Stephen Moylan, the first President, a native of Cork, was 
to become aide-de-camp to Washington at the siege of Boston, 
and later General in command of the Cavalry forces ; John Shee, 
commander of the 3rd Pennsylvania Regiment and later General 
of ]\Iilitia; James Mease, paymaster and treasurer of the Conti- 
nental Army; John Please, his brother, a founder of the First 
City Troop and a gallant participant in the Battle of Trenton: 
Matthew Alease, another brother, who fought with John Paul 
Jones ; John Mitchell, :Muster Master-General of the State Navy, 
and later Captain of the "Ranger;" George Meade, active upon 
numerous patriotic committees, and the father of 10 children, 
one of whom, in turn, was to become the father of the hero of 
Gettysburg; Andrew Caldwell, Commodore of the Provincial 
Fleet in 1776; Samuel Caldwell, George Campbell, George Fuller- 
ton, all in service with the first City Troop. John Nixon, too, 
was a Colonel, under ^^'ashington, but his chief claim to fame 
lies in another direction, as will later appear ; and Thomas Fitz- 
simons surpassed all in eminence as a statesman. 

So much for the awakening of the martial spirit in the 
founders of the Friendly Sons. Still greater glory was to attach 
to the numerous names added to the roll in the years to follow. 
The minutes of the meetings in the brief interval preceding the 
outbreak of the Revolution are little more than records of attend- 
ance and non-attendance and of the admission of new members. 
Of these, the first and one of the most important was John 



8 THE FRIES DLY SOSS OF ST. PATRICK 

Cadwalader, Esq.. afterwards the General whom Washington 
described as a "miHtary genius;'* and another achiiitted in 
September. 1773. and distinguished for a very different reason, 
was Captain Thomas Batt, an Irishman and a half-pay British 
officer, t)f whom it will be necessary to speak later. At the 
meeting in September. 1774. among the "visitors."' or guests, is 
mentioned "Mr. Wayne." wh»» became a full-fledged member at 
the next meeting. He is now known to every American school- 
boy as General "Mad" Anthony Wayne. 

There was, however, no sign of the great soldier about "Mr. 
Wayne" then, and there was little of the martial in the bearing 
or in the thoughts of the other members. The gatherings, particu- 
larly the dinners, were above all things convivial, and the minutes 
deal constantly with instructions to a committee, usually of one 
or two, "to order a good, plain dinner and chuse the liquors." 
No one tavern was studiously favored above another, as Dooner's 
is now. but Burns's and Mushatt's and the City Tavern were most 
frequently honored. There was, we may suppose, much toasting 
of the fair sex, and gusty singing of whatever Irish melodies 
were suitable for banquets in those days, T<^m Moore not yet 
having been born. But with the advent of the fall of 1774. 
bringing the first Continental Congress to Philadelphia, we can 
well imagine a change in the atmosphere of the Society's meetings. 
With patriots in the making, the Irish must have been to the fore. 
They assuredly were, and when, upon the 17th of Xovember of 
that year, an organization was ft»rmed of the "Light Horse of 
the City of Philadelphia." now known as the First Troop, it is 
not surprising that of the 88 names enrolled 30 were members of 
the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick. We know, too, that the roster 
of each of the several citizens' committees engaged in the work 
preliminary to the climax of 177^" was plentifully sprinkled with 
the names of Friendly Sons. 

There was a goodly attendance at the annual meeting and 
dinner of March 17. 1775. but Captain Thomas Batt. who had 
been elected \'ice President the year before, was ci>nspicuously 
absent, for a reason which must have been fully understood by 



THE FRIENDLY SONS OF ST. PATRICK g 

all, though no hint of it is given in the minutes. Within a month 
and a week of that jovial gathering, an anonymous Paul Revere 
from Trenton, galloping up to the City Tavern, brought the first 
news of the shot fired at Lexington by the embattled farmers. 
Then there was work a-plenty to the liking of the Friendly Sons. 
The enrollment of citizens for home defense began, and military 
companies galore sprang up. Most famous among these appear 
the "Greens," who drilled twice daily in the yard of John 
Cadwalader, who was their captain, and who, in the kindness of 
his heart, "set out his madeira for the men to refresh themselves 
on after drill." 

The quarterly meetings of June and September were held, 
without incidents of moment, so far as may be gathered from the 
minutes, but in the record of the gathering on December i8, 1775, 
we read of "a motion being made and seconded that Thomas Batt, 
a member of this Society, should be expelled for taking an active 
part against the Liberties of America." Then follows the 
announcement, startlingly refreshing when we consider the 
ticklish tension of the times and the impulsive natures of the 
members, that "Determination was postponed till the next meeting- 
in order for a more deliberate Consideration." The Friendly 
Sons were most patient with this Batt. They knew it was his 
paltry half-pay that prompted him to align himself with the 
Royalists. Perhaps they knew, too, that bigger fish than he were 
in the same net. The American patriots could not have been 
wholly unacquainted with the fact, which is now known to all of 
us who have access to Boswell's ''Life of Johnson" that the great 
Doctor of English Letters was induced by something of the same 
fear, regarding his pension from the King, to write his infamous 
pamphlet, "Taxation No Tyranny." At any rate, it is to the 
credit of those Friendly Sons that for three months they did give 
"deliberate consideration" to Batt's case; but it is still more to 
their credit that upon March 17, 1776, they unanimously decided 
to rid themselves of this one unworthy member of the Society, 
which Washington was pleased — shortly before he himself 
became an adopted member — to characterize as "Distinguished 



10 THE FRIES DLY SOS'S OF ST. PATRICK 

for the firm adherence of its members to the glorious cause in 
which we are embarked." 

In the minutes of that notable meeting in March. 1776, 
military titles began to blossom before the names of erstwhile 
plain citizens: Colonels Anthony Wayne and Stephen Moylan. 
Major Samuel Meredith. Captain William West, and Commodore 
Andrew Caldwell. A mere corporal's guard attended the June 
meeting, and then comes the eloquent record: — 

"Xotk: — The state of Pennsylvania having been 
invaded, and the city oi Philadelphia taken by the 
British Army under the Command of Gen'l Sir William 
Howe in September. 1777. the StKMety had no meeting 
till September. 1778. the niinutes of the meetings in 
Sept'r and Dec'r. iJ/(^. and in March and June. 1777, 
are unfortunately lost." 

It is. of course, impossible to follow during those two 
memorable years the activities of all those "far-flung Gaels." but 
we can picture, in our proud fancy. Captain John P>arry sweeping 
the blue, "the first to put to sea on a regularly commissioned 
national vessel for a regular cruise" : we can stand beside Andrew 
Caldwell. Commodore of the Pennsylvania Xavy. on the (juarter- 
deck of the flagshij) of his little fleet which repelled the British 
ships "Roebuck" auil "Liverpool" in the Delaware River in May. 
177^: we can follow Thomas McKean. during his brief command 
of a battalion of reserves, and Colonel Anthony Wayne and 
Colonel John Shee at the head of two other battalions: we can 
acc<Mnpanv John Dickinson. TlKMuas McKean and Robert ^^)rris 
into the hall of the Continental Congress, and lean, breathless, 
over the'shoulders of McKean ami M(~)rris as they sign the 
Declaration of Independence: and. finally, we can have the 
deiiKKTatic privilege of standing in the cnnvd in the State House 
yard to hear that precious document publicly reail for the first 
time by John Xixon. If there be not in all that glory enough to 
stir tlie blood of every living Celt, let it be recalled — as Samuel 
Hood pointed out in his sketch of the Society nearly a hundred 
years ago — that it was an Irishman, Charles TIkmhsou. Secretary 
of Congress, who first prei)areil that immortal dt>cument for 



THE FRIENDLY SONS OF ST. PATRICK ii 

publication from the rough draught of Jefferson, and another 
Irishman, Thomas Dunlap, who first printed it and pubHshed it 
to the world. 

During" those two years unnoted in the minutes Valley Forge 
had come into existence ; the battles of Germantown, Trenton and 
Princeton had been fought ; and in all these heroic activities the 
Friendly Sons had been prominent. Even after the evacuation 
of Philadelphia by the British in 1778 there was but slim attend- 
ance at the meetings, many members being recorded as "at camp" 
or "beyond sea" — phrases big with import. These laconic 
minutes are interesting mainly for their first introduction to us 
of new members whose names were already writ large in 
American History. John Barry makes his first formal appearance 
as a member ; and so does Blair McClenachan, fiery City Trooper 
and powerful politician, but, most of all, the patriotic financier 
who was the strong right hand of Robert Morris. Morris and 
McClenachan, with contributions of £10,000 each — a prodigious 
sum in those days — headed the list of subscribers in the movement 
undertaken in 1780 to establish the Bank of Pennsylvania for the 
purpose of supplying provisions "for the armies of the United 
States." Of the magnificent total of £315,000 raised, thirty 
members of the Friendly Sons pledged more than one-third. 
The bank opened in July, 1780, and continued in operation until 
the establishment, on July 7, 1782, of the Bank of North 
America, which — according to Gouge's History of Paper Money 
and Banking — "appears to have sprung from it, and to have 
monopolized the glory which belonged to the old bank of 
Pennsylvania, of having rendered essential service to the country 
during the revolution." 

Now we come to the Crowning Glory. Between the lines 
of records even so meagre as those in the old minute-book of the 
Friendly Sons it is possible to read in the entries of 1781 indica- 
tions of the approaching end of the war. The attendance was 
again becoming full, and the lists of distinguished guests were a 
succession of historic processions, showing that the members 
were getting back to their peace-time haunts and avocations, 



12 THE FRIENDLY SONS OF ST. PATRICK 

and that the pressure upon the new nation's heroic figures was 

relaxing. 

Speaker Muhlenberg, among others, was at the St. Patrick's 
Day dinner of 1781. and so was Chevalier Paul Jones. John 
Barry was "beyond sea," though these two pre-eminent naval 
worthies did sit at table together in September. 1783. 

"It was a comnKjn occurrence." says Campbell, in his history 
of the Society, "to elect military and naval officers to member- 
ship." The reasDU being, evidently, because it would have been 
uncommon to hit upon an eligible Irishman who wasn't one or 
the other. At any rate, in quick succession came General William 
Irvine, (ieneral Henry Knox, General Edward Hand. Surgeon- 
General Cochran. Colonel Charles Stewart, Colonel Thomas 
Robinson, Captain Isaac All. Captain Thomas Read, Captain 
Thomas Green and Colonel Richard Butler. With the Society's 
heightened military complexion it is natural that the eyes and 
the thoughts of the members should center upon ^ne beloved 
object, and it isn't surprising to read in the minutes, under date 
of December 7. 1781, that the President and his Council "agreed 
and ordered the Secretary to Invite his Excellency General 
Washington and the Gentlemen of his suit in the name of the 
Society to dinner on Monday, the 17th inst.. at the City Tavern, 
but that this deviation from the rules of the Society should never 
be deem'd a precedent hereafter. 

"X. B. — His Excellency, having been previously engaged, 
could not coni|)ly with the abo\e request." 

.\n inspired member at the regular December meeting, held 
ten days later — it is regrettable that his identity has been withheld 
from us — was responsible for the suggestion that the Friendly 
Sons must have General Washington not only as a guest but as 
a member. Since the honorary membership — for those not 
of Irish birth or descent — was full, George Washington was 
"unanimously adopted as a member of this Society." "Thus." 
says Campbell, "making an Irishman out of him so far as it was 
in their power to do so." And in that connection, it may be 
mentioned, in passing, that tlii-^ :u-i ni.iv, .ifftT all. lia\ e been akin 



THE FRIENDLY SONS OF ST. PATRICK 13 

to the ceremony of conditional Baptism. For, having in mind 
the doubt, which even the Encyclopedia Britannica shares, that 
Washington's descent can be traced to the Sulgrave branch of 
the family in Sussex, there are those who hold with Dr. Austin 
O'Malley that George Washington's forebears may, indeed, have 
been Irish. It is only fair to say. however, that Dr. O'Malley 
has not proved his case. Let this be a friendly challenge to him ! 

But for the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick there is glory 
enough in the fruition of the plan proposed at that meeting 
in December, 1781. It was ordered that the President. Vice 
President and Secretary "wait on his Excellency with a suitable 
address" and that they present him with a medal in the name of 
the Society. There were no medals immediately accessible, the 
dies being in London, but James ]\Iease offered his and it was 
accepted. What followed cannot be better told than in the simple 
eloquence of the minutes : — 

'Tn pursuance of the foregoing order, the President and 
Secretary waited upon his Excellency with the following 
address : — 

May it please your Excellency. 

The Society of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick in this City, 
Ambitious to testify with all possible respect, the high sense they 
entertain of your Excellency's public and private Virtues, have 
taken the liberty to adopt your Excellency a member. 

"Although they have not the cloathing of any Civil establish- 
ment, nor the splendor of Temporal power to dignify their 
election, yet they flatter themselves, as it is the genuine offspring 
of hearts fill'd with the warmest attachments, that this mark of 
their esteem and regard will not be wholly unacceptable to your 
Excellency. 

"Impress'd with these pleasing hopes, they ha\'e directed me 
to present your Excellency with a gold medal, the ensign of this 
fraternal Society, which that you may be pleased to accept and 
long live to wear, is the earnest wish of 

Your Excellency's 

Most Humble and Respectful Servant, 
By order & in behalf of the Society, 
Geo. Campbell. President. 
To his Excellency. General Washington. 

Commander in Chief of die Allied Armv."

"To which his Excellency was pleased to give the following 
answer, viz : —

Fraternity as that t»f the Sons of St. Patrick in this city — a 
Society distinguished for the firm Adherence of its members to

Friendly Sons, who, to the number of 600 or more, annually 
overflow the ballroom of the Bellevue-Stratford on St. Patrick's 
Day, will contemplate with mixed emotions this great dinner of 
56 covers, where the members numbered but 14 more than the 
guests, and those guests so distinguished ! The annual banquet 
on the following St. Patrick's night was more numerously 
attended, but there Washington appeared not as a guest but as 
a member. 

The minutes of the Society from 1790 to 181 3 cannot be 
found, and for our knowledge of the meetings of those years we 
are dependent upon the files of the newspapers of the day. We 
shall probably never know, therefore, whether in those meetings 
of which we have no detailed record, the members "feared to 
speak of '98," or what they thought of the Act of Union in 1800, 
or how they were moved by the fate of Robert Emmett in 1803. 
At the beginning of this period — the last decade of the eighteenth 
century — the members appear to have deemed a change in the 
title of the Society desirable, for the Pennsylvania Packet tells 
us that on Monday Evening, April 5, 1790, "there was a 
numerous and respectable meeting at the State House of the 
Hibernian Society for the relief of Emigrants from Ireland, at 
which meeting the constitution was ratified and the officers of 
the Society elected." Chief Justice Thomas McKean is named 
as the first President under the changed title; General Walter 
Stewart, Vice President; Mathew Carey, Secretary, and John 
Taylor, Treasurer. It was probably Carey's idea to put a special 
patriotic blessing upon this formal beginning by selecting for 
the place of meeting the Cradle of American Liberty. 

Mathew Carey resigned as secretary in 1791, but in the 18

montlis of liis incuiiibencv tlie Society had waxed prosperous. 
To the Federal Gazette of April 6. 1791. we are indebted for a 
glimpse of the anniversary dinner held the day before, April 5. 
At the guests' table we see the Vice President, John Adams ; the 
Secretary of State, Thomas Jefferson ; the Attorney General. 
Edmund Randolph ; and the Governor of Pennsylvania, Thomas 
Mifflin. The presiding officer on that occasion was to be the 
next Governor of the young commonwealth, but it was under the 
hand of Governor Mifflin, and the great seal of the State, that, a 
little more than a year later, the Society's new Charter was 
granted. 

On April jj. 1792. the Society was incorporated by the State 
of Pennsylvania as "The Hibernian Society for the Relief of 
Emigrants from Ireland." The incorporators were : — The 
Honorable Thomas McKean. LL.D., Chief Justice of the 
Commonwealth aforesaid; Brigadier-General Walter Stewart, 
Edward Im)x, Edward Carroll. Patrick Ferrall. Paul Cox, James 
McCrea, James Barclay, David Lapsley. Mathew Carey, Joseph 
Brown, Henry Toland, James Boylan, John Leamy, Archibald 
Bingham. John McLoughlin, William Hayes. James Adler, 
George Baker, William Delany, Alexander Henry. Patrick 
Moore. John Dunkin. Peter Benson. Richard Moore, John 
McClelland, John McCree. Andrew Porter. Samuel Bayard. 
Sharp Delany. James Crawford. John Brown. Daniel Baldwin, 
William Matthews. Michael Morgan O'Brien, Oliver Pollock, 
John Lynch. John H. Huston, Thomas Lea, John Maxwell 
Xesbitt, George Hughes. Jasper Moylan. George Meade, John 
Connelly. Samuel Kingsley. John Jones. Edmund Mullery, James 
Gallagher, James McClure. James Campbell. Robert McCleay, 
John Taggert. Roger Kean. Alexander Cain. Robert Rainey, 
Hugh Holmes, Charles Heatly. David McCormick and John 
Graham. 

At the lirst meeting following the incorporation it was 
resolved, "that the following sul)scription paper be circulated, in 
order to effect the establishment of a Society for the above- 
mentioned purpose : 



THE FRIENDLY SONS OF ST. PATRICK 17 

"As no object can be more laudable, so to a benevolent mind 
none can be more grateful than the relief of distress ; perhaps no 
institution can afford a more ample scope for the effectuation of 
this purpose than the national societies established in this country 
for the protection of those emigrants whom misery, misfortune 
or oppression has compelled to forsake their native country and 
fly to the 'asylum' established here 'for the oppressed of all 
nations.' By these societies emigrants have been not only 
rendered more happy in their situations, but more useful members 
in society; oppression has been punished, migration hither encour- 
aged, misery alleviated, and consequently the temptations to 
wander from the paths of rectitude diminished. These reasons, 
and others equally forcible, have induced the subscribers, natives 
of Ireland or descendants of Irishmen, to associate themselves 
under the title of 'The Hibernian Society for the Protection of 
Irish Emigrants.' " 

The closing years of the Eighteenth Century were big with 
important events in the development of the new Republic, and 
in all of them, military, naval and political, the members of the 
Society played prominent parts. John Barry, by virtue of his 
commission, signed by President Washington, and bearing the 
No. I, had become the "Father of the American Navy"; 
Thomas Fitzsimons, a signer of the Federal Constitution, had 
been elected to Congress; Sharp Delany was Collector of 
Customs ; Robert Patton, Postmaster ; and — but the list is 
interminable. All the Irish were working for the new nation, 
and — to be sure— fighting among themselves politically, through 
it all. They were heroic civic servants and fearless self- 
sacrificing neighbors in the Yellow Fever epidemic; they were 
almost unanimous shouters against Jay's Treaty with England; 
and in the bitter political controversies between Thomas McKean 
and William Duane they spread themselves tempestuously upon 
both sides, and glorious fighting times were had by all. But 
through all this boiling of the political caldron, the Hibernians 
found time to become leaders in manufacturing circles, foremost 
in the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce, and always 



i8 THE FRIES DLY SOS'S OF ST. PATRICK 

watchful and CDiisitlerate of the interests of their humble and 
friendless C(>nii)atriots coming in from the old land. 

The first mutterings of tiie War of 1812 served to bring 
all factions together against the threatened reappearance of the 
old enemy, the same King George. Throughout that conflict 
Hibernians served again with gallantry in the army and the navy, 
and out of it they took, as an honorary member, its most 
distinguished military hero. Andrew Jackson. 

From March 17. 18 13. the minute books of the Society are 
complete down to the present day. and in those records one may 
note the gradual passing of the great old names and the rising 
of other stars still held in reverence by their followers. Although 
every national necessity drew from the Hibernian membership 
the customary full quota of ready and capable patriots, the 
Society's history during the long period from 18 13 to i860 is 
chiefly ncjtable for its close attention to the object for whose 
furtherance, mainly, it was founded. Help and sympathy for 
Ireland and her aftllicted sons and daughters, especially in the 
periods of famine, wore never failing. The annual dinners were 
elaborate functions, apparently well attended, and in the toasts, 
which were numerous and highly patriotic and eloquent, we may 
follow the procession ot' passing events in which the members 
were interested. Doubtless those dinners were not such jovial 
affairs as in the older dav. for there is little or no talk of "chusins: 
the li(|Uors;" and it is with something of a shock that we read in 
the minutes, touching the dinner of March 17. 1848: — 

"The following toast was offered by tlie President of the St. 
George's Society and drunk with great enthusiasm: — 

"Father Matthew (the great temperance advocate) — though 
Ireland has the honor of his birth, and he is a sectarian in religion, 
he is now claimed as a brother by Christians of every countrv, 
and is honored and revered all the world over." 

It is interesting to note that through nearly a full century 
the Society had but five presidents — Thomas McKean. who served 
from 1790 to 1800; Hugh Holmes, from 1800 to 1818; Joseph 
Tagert. from 18 18 to 1850; Robert Taylor, from 1850 to 1856; 



THE FRIENDLY SONS OF ST. PATRICK ig 

and General Robert Patterson, from 1856 to 1881, the year of his 
death, at the venerable age of 90. Of these, next to Governor 
McKean, General Patterson was by long odds the most distin- 
guished. His membership in the Society dated from 1824, and 
his service to his country covered even a longer period. Born in 
Ireland in 1792, he was brought to this country by his father, 
whose participation in the Rebellion of 1798 compelled him, in 
that year, to seek a refuge in America. At the beginning of the 
War of 18 1 2, Robert Patterson, when but 19 years of age, was 
commissioned a lieutenant of infantry in the regular army and 
later was promoted to captain. His life thereafter was a succession 
of glorious military service. He was one of the organizers of the 
effective militia of Pennsylvania, and became Major General of 
the First Division in 1828, a position he held for 40 years. He 
rendered important military service in suppressing the anti- 
Catholic riots in Philadelphia in 1844; he entered the Mexican 
War as Major General of U. S. V^olunteers, and emerged from 
it as Commander-in-Chief of the army; and at the outbreak of 
the Civil War he directed the organization of the famous 
Pennsylvania Reserve, and later took personal command of the 
opening campaign in the Shenandoah Valley. The disaster of 
Bull Run led many critics to blame General Patterson's conduct 
of the campaign, but time has fully vindicated his judgment and 
services, and both had the complete approval of President 
Lincoln. 

During General Patterson's long term as President of the 
Society, among the many incidents of moment, the most notable 
were the dinner of March 17, 1871, where General Grant was 
the guest of honor, and that hero's subsecjuent election as an 
honorary member. In 1880 the Society sent $5,000 to the relief 
of famine sufferers in Ireland. There was about that time an 
infusion of new blood, and most of that access of vital fluid was 
due to the admission of Peter Samuel Dooner to membership 
and to his indefatigable efforts in the interests of the Society. 
At the meeting on j\Iarch 17, 1880, at which Mr. Dooner was 
admitted, there were just 12 members present. But at that mark 



20 THE FRIENDLY SOXS OF ST. PATRICK 

of extreme low water the tide turned and came rushing in at flood 
and has continued with increasing force. 

With the death of General Patterson passed the last great 
figure of the War of 1812, Commodore George C. Read and 
Commodt)re Charles Stewart ("Old Ironsides"), grandfather of 
Charles Stewart Parnell. having died some years before. But 
the city was rich in heroes of later naval and military activities, 
and in men of Irish blood who had achieved eminence in the 
more peaceful fields. There were, also, of course, many more 
who, though neither of Irish birth or descent, were eligible to 
membership, for the Society, in 1790. had broadened the qualifica- 
tions, to take in all who were favorably dis|x>scd to the objects 
of the organization. At the meeting on December 17. 1881, 
thirty-three new members were proposed, nine of them by Mr. 
Dooner, and upon that occasion began the movement for a 
departure from the old system of electing officers, which brought 
about the present highly satisfactory plan oi regular rotation in 
office — at least so far as effects the presidency and the vice 
presidency. It is becoming to note here that at the next meeting, 
the anniversary gathering of March 17, 1882, Thomas D. 
Ferguson was elected Secretary, and that, to the great benefit of 
the Society, he has continued in oftice to the present day. At 
this March meeting of i88j, Mr. Dooner and his "new blood" 
associates presented another batch of new members — an even 
dozen this time. A spirited contest resulted in the election of 
\\"illiam Rrice. President, and William J. Xcad. \'ice President. 

Year after year new and distinguished names were added to 
the rolls, and the purse in the hands of the treasurer grew fat 
and prosj)erous. Mr. Rrice was succeeded in the presidency by 
Mr. Xcad. and ho. in turn. ga\e way tt» John Field, during whose 
administration two of the Society's most noteworthy latter-day 
functions wore held. The first of these, in order of time, was 
the dinner in Dooner's Hotel fc^llowing the regular quarterly 
meeting of September, 1886. at which the Governors of the 13 
original states, who were meeting that day in Philadelphia to 
arrange for the celcl)ration of the C<Mistitutional Centennial a 



THE FRIENDLY SONS OF ST. PATRICK 21 

year later, were the guests of honor. It was a small but famous 
function. Most of the visiting Governors were present and 
several of them brought members of their staffs. Speeches were 
made by Governors Stockley, of Delaware ; Lloyd, of Maryland ; 
McDaniel, of Georgia; and Lee, of Virginia, 

The quarterly meeting of September, 1887, coming as it did 
in the midst of the nation's celebration, at Philadelphia, of the 
Centenary of the adoption of the Constitution of the United 
States, was made the occasion of a banquet to President 
Cleveland. John Field, the President of the Society, being in 
Europe, Ex-Governor Andrew G. Curtin, a member of the 
Society, presided, and upon either side of him at the guest table 
sat a large company of distinguished men, — cabinet officers, 
foreign ministers. Governors and ex-Governors of a dozen states, 
high officers of the army and navy, eminent members of the 
clergy, the mayor of the city, and leaders in the civic and business 
fields. In the course of his brief speech President Cleveland said : 
"I am sure there is no corporation, no association, which has in 
its charter or in its history or traditions a more valuable 
certificate of patriotic worth than you have found in the words 
of Washington when he declared, as he did in 1782, that your 
Society was 'noted for the firm adherence of its members to the 
noble cause in which we are embarked.' These are priceless 
words. I say, long live the Hibernian Society and long may its 
beneficent and benevolent objects be prosecuted." Thus were 
added to the Society's treasury of memories further priceless 
words to be cherished. 

Of Hibernian participation in relief work for Johnstown 
Flood Sufferers, in the conduct of the Spanish-American War, 
and the many other activities of national or international scope 
which have filled the years between, it is needless here to speak. 
There is much in the modern minutes of the Society, intimately 
touching the careers of General St. Clair A. Mulholland, Admiral 
George W. Melville, the witty General Thomas J. Stewart, and 
others, that may well engage the proud enthusiasm of some 
devoted historian of a later day. These matters will keep, and 



22 THE FRIENDLY SONS OF ST. PATRICK 

^\•ill mellow in the keeping; but there is one enterprise of recent 
accomplishment, which, by reason of its own importance and its 
reminiscent relation to the early glories, may well serve to round 
out this narrative. 

The ashes of Commodore John Barry have lain in St. 
Mary's Catholic Churchyard, Fourth Street above Spruce, since 
September, 1803. A century after the death of this American 
patriot and eminent son of Ireland, the Society, at whose gather- 
ings he had become a perennial boast and frequent toast, resolved 
to honor and perpetuate his memory by erecting a monument in 
Independence Square near the spot where he had received, from 
the hands of Washington, his commission as First Captain of 
the American Xavy. To carry out this project. President John 
'SI. Campbell appointed this committee: General St. Clair A. 
Mulholland. Chairman; Rev. J. Gray Bolton. D.D.. Hon. Edwin 
S. Stuart. Rear Admiral George W. Melville. Hugh McCaffrey 
and Henry B. Tener. The design of Samuel Murray, the 
Philadelphia sculptor, was accepted ; and on the eve of St. 
Patrick's Day. March 16. 1907. in the presence of an immense 
crowd. Miss Elise Hazel Hepburn, great-great-grand niece of the 
Commodore, unveiled the memorial.* There were orations by 
General Stewart. Mayor Weaver and Admiral Melville, and at 
the banquet, which followed, in the evening, there was renewal 
not only of the Society's pride and affection for its great fellow 
member, but also of the spirit of his times. 

In 1892 the Society, by an amendment to its charter, 
resumed the old title of its fathers — The Friendly Sons of St. 
Patrick — and in this happy renewal of the primal atmosphere, the 
membership, now grown so great, both in members and in 
brotherly enthusiasm, is destined to rejoice perennially. In the 
elimination of the racial restriction which narrowed the Society's 
scope in its earliest years an improvement was wrought upon the 
old order. The Society thus l)roadened not only itself but the 
knowledge and the sympathies of its neighbors ; for it may be

States Army, unveiled on May 16, 1914, the National Monument to Commodore Barry

THE FRIENDLY SONS OF ST. PATRICK 23 

safely said that the Society of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick 
has contributed more than any other institution in this country 
to the spreading of that spirit of understanding and affection 
with which the American people look upon the cause of Ireland. 

Although it is neither becoming nor necessary here to speak 
boastingly of the watchful care with which the Friendly Sons 
have ever looked after the interests of immigrants from the old 
country, it cannot help but be gratifying to the members to know 
that the Society is adequately prepared to meet every demand 
that may be made upon it by the increase in immigration which 
has already begun. 

The Society of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick has done its 
full share in the work of Americanization. Its agent meets all 
incoming ships and affords necessary relief and welcomes the 
immigrants to our shores. 

To every man. meditating' upon his membership in the 
Society — whether or not his veins pulse with the warm Celtic 
blood of the founders — there must come a lifting up of the heart 
at the thought, that he is the heir not only of the fame of those 
founders but also of the fruits of their sacrifices and their glorious 
achievements. For all Americans it is a wholesome thing to 
refresh the memory of "old, forgotten, far-off things and battles 
long ago" by reviewing occasionally the epic story so simply set 
down in the minutes of the Friendlv Sons of St. Patrick.

Hrin, tlit tear ami tlic sniilc in tliiiie eyes, 
lileml like tlie rainbow tiiat hangs in thy skies! 
Shining through sorrow's stream, 
Saddening through pleasure's beam, 
Thy suns with doubtful gleam, 
Weep svhilc they rise. 

Erin, tliy siknt tear never sliall cease, 
Erin, thy languid smile ne'er shall increase. 
Till, like the rainbow's light, 
Thy various tints unite, 
And form in heaven's sight. 
One arcl) of peace ! 

— Thomas Mikire.
